"It would be no small advantage if every college were located at the base of a mountain, as good at least as one well-endowed professorship . . . Some will remember, no doubt, not only that they went to college, but that they went to the mountain. Every visit to its summit would, as it were, generalize the particular information gained below, and subject it to more universal tests."
Henry David Thoreau
